Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, late in the life of the last government, we brought in the new Mental Health Act which is going to go live, I believe in January. Part of the Act is the implementation and utilization of something we call assisted community treatment. These positions are going to help us bring that to reality to help provide services that are outlined under the new legislation that didn't exist under the old legislation.
We believe this is a significant step to move forward to providing better mental health services across the Northwest Territories. These positions, at least one of them is also going to help us with the review board that we are required to have under the legislation.
